New Features in Exim
--------------------
av_scanner = clamd:192.0.2.3 1234:local
+ ClamAV's ExtendedDetectionInfo response format is now handled.
+
4. There is now a -bmalware option, restricted to admin users. This option
takes one parameter, a filename, and scans that file with Exim's
malware-scanning framework. This is intended purely as a debugging aid
to ensure that Exim's scanning is working, not to replace other tools.
+ Note that the ACL framework is not invoked, so if av_scanner references
+ ACL variables without a fallback then this will fail.
5. There is a new expansion operator, "reverse_ip", which will reverse IP
addresses; IPv4 into dotted quad, IPv6 into dotted nibble. Examples:
then henceforth you will have to maintain your own local patches to strip
the safeties off.
- 8. Routers now support multiple "condition" tests, IF each router yields
- a string which the bool{} operator recognises. Note that this is a departure
- from normal Router "condition" truth, requiring the stricter standard of
- "true" that ACLS use. This might be relaxed in a future release if there
- is sufficient demand.
- When debugging, bear in mind that these are internally wrapped up into
- a longer, more complicated, string. There's a reason that the bool{}
- logic is a dependency.
+ 8. There is a new expansion operator, bool_lax{}. Where bool{} uses the ACL
+ condition logic to determine truth/failure and will fail to expand many
+ strings, bool_lax{} uses the router condition logic, where most strings
+ do evaluate true.
+ Note: bool{00} is false, bool_lax{00} is true.
+
+ 9. Routers now support multiple "condition" tests,
+
+10. There is now a runtime configuration option "tcp_wrappers_daemon_name".
+ Setting this allows an admin to define which entry in the tcpwrappers
+ config file will be used to control access to the daemon. This option
+ is only available when Exim is built with USE_TCP_WRAPPERS. The
+ default value is set at build time using the TCP_WRAPPERS_DAEMON_NAME
+ build option.
